And my heart rejoices.
I look at the last two posts on here, and all I see is the contrast in seasons of life. This past fall was a hard one no doubt, with all of its anger and frustrating wonder, but all the while, You were there. And You still are, here with me now. Though the times and circumstances constantly change, You remain the same. Thank You for Your grace, for walking me through that dark road, for keeping my heart with Yours even when I was mad at You and had nothing great to say to You. Lord, Lord, Your goodness continually astounds me.

"You turned my wailing into dancing;
You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
That my heart may sing to You and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give You thanks forever."
Psalm 30:11-12

Those verses speak my heart.

I'm thankful for everything: the good, the bad, the challenging, the wrestling and fighting. I'm thankful You always win. The truths You impressed on my heart through the struggle are invaluable and wouldn't have been learned otherwise. I rejoice in You and thank You again for the story of grace You have written and continue to write. I can't doubt Your goodness.
